Commissioned to be a Warrior of the Cross...

[tokyo_magnet]

As I sit here, listening to the "Troy" soundtrack and Josh Groban sings the melodic chant of "Remember Me," I have been crushed. My spirit is down, my legs are tired, and my passion is stifled. I have been given a real blow this time, something that has given me cause to pause and reflect as to my position with Siren, a time to get married, and

My friend I love you and I am praying For God to rejuvenate your heart. 1 John 5:14. My friend and brother, you have always been an encouragement to me and anythign that I can do to help you...please let me know. I love you!

David Crowder Band- Obsession:
What can I do with my obsession
With the things I cannot see
is there madness in my being
is it win that moves the trees
Sometimes you're further than the moon
Sometimes you're closer than my skin
And you surround me like a winter fog
You've come and burned me with a kiss

My heart burns for you
And my heart burns...for you

And I'm so filthy with my sin
I carry pride like a disease
You know I'm stubborn, Lord, and
I'm longing to be close
You burn me deeper than I know
And I feel lonely without hope
And I feel desperate without vision
You wrap around me like a winter coat
You come and free me like a bird

I'm praying for you big brother. I feel led to give you Job 12:10- "In his hand is the life of every creature and the breath of all mankind." I don't know why, but I know that for me, this verse helps me to keep things in perspective. How amazing to realize that God holds my very breath in his hand, and at any time he can terminate me but for some reason I keep breathing. Just knowing that he is fully intentional every second that he keeps me alive gives me a renewed sense of belonging and a great fire in my heart to keep seeking his will. Anyway, I love you so much and you are in my prayers.

The more I desire to be passionate I find things I can shift my passion to from where it should be. The more I desire to serve Christ, theSiren and others, things get in the way. The more my heart longs to draw near to God in worship, the more of a wretch I feel, as to deter my devotion. WHY IS THIS?! I tell you, this is not coincidence! This is a battle my friend, my brother, my fellow warrior. The stronger we fight, the more barbed wire the Devil attempts to put up to keep us from our objectives. He thinks we will give up when faced with the pain, the cuts, the entanglements. Screw that! I will press on for the prize! I, We are men, not mere men, but Men of God. He has equipped us, now lets delve headlong into battle. Not in our own strength, but in the Lord's

wow. i love you, dan. that's really all i can offer you.

[masticatus]

i pretty much can't stop thinking about how much you mean to me, dan my brother.

For the joy of the Lord is your strength. Nehemiah 8:10

you have encouraged me and helped guide me more than anyone i have ever met. you are an incredible guy. i love you so much. you have helped teach me what Christianity really means. you example a real Christian walk. you are so hard on yourself, but your example does not go unmissed.

Rejoice in the Lord alway, and again I say Rejoice. Phil.4:4God is incredibly good, even when things aren't going the way we like them. you taught me that, my brother. you know i feel terrible because my life is so easy and everything always goes my way - why does anything bad have to happen to my brother? take it from him and give it to me

steve, I usually don't do the livejournal thing, and I usually don't check it that much, but you bless me. The words you wrote are something I will keep close to me, something I will remember whenever I see you. I wish they were true, but, nonetheless, I know that you are a warrior fighting this battle with me, and in that I rejoice. I love all the KIPPELS.
